Research tips

 

• Search by subject: Once you have located one item in the catalog, you may click on the search term within the record to find other items on the same or similar, subjects.
• Search by call number:  Once you have located one item in the catalog, click on the call number to view similar titles that surround that item on the shelf. 
• Use JSTOR and LexisNexi Academic to locate  articles on a particular subject.
• Interlibrary loan (ILL):  If you are unable to locate an item in the PHC online or on campus collection, you may request resources through Interlibrary loan.  ILL requests may be made directly into the library database WorldCat.  If you have difficulty requesting an ILL in WorldCat, you may use the form on the website or request assistance from any of the library staff. Once you locate an appropriate resource, potential valuable resources may be listed in the item's bibliography. 
• Loudoun County Public Library's Purcellville Branch is available to students offering a variety of potentially valuable resources.  A library card may be obtained by presenting your PHC library card and their catalog is available online, as well as the option to request items.
